Comments for New 2010 Ford Mustang Revealed - AOL Autos »

Posted By TimALoftis 1 year ago in Style

When the 2005 Ford Mustang debuted, it thoroughly reinvigorated the pony car segment that it created four decades earlier. After 25 years of being assembled on the archaic rear-wheel-drive Fox platform, the Mustang finally had an all-new platform and styling that hearkened back to the late 1960s. Known as the S197, this Mustang appeared at a time when it was in fact the only surviving member of the muscle car class. The Camaro and Firebird had been cancelled two years earlier and Chrysler had been out of the rear-wheel-drive sport coupe market since the 1970s. The Mustang's enormous success inspired Chevrolet and Dodge to create their own retro-styled muscle cars in the form of the new Camaro and Challenger. Fortunately for Mustang fans, Ford has not been sitting idle, and even while it was creating all those special edition Mustangs over the past few years, it was also working on thoroughly revamping its core pony. For the 2010 Mustang, Ford has taken the best parts of the S197 and fixed most of what was broken. Read on to learn find out what's new.

    The new Mustang is huge compared to my 1967 Mustang. But it's still way lighter than the other cars. All that extra weight will soak up the power big time. The Mustang is still the bar that the others are judged by.

      I have a '73 Mach 1. The new models are small, especially length wise compared to mine.

      I hope Ford survives long enough to build it.
